glass carrig

KildareDonaghmore (Kildare)

i have been advised that glass carrig was the seat of the leinster rule circa 1170ad

this documentary evidence came through the conquest of ireland translated gerald of wales

glass carrig a small creek and promitory on the open coast of wexford about 12 miles south of arklow head

the same distance from ferns

the see of a bishop with his chapter

the city appears to have been also the principal seat of the native princes of leinster

dublin being in the hands of the ostmen or norwegian underkings so called of their own race who extended an independent jurisdiction

could you advise me if i am in the right parish

and how long the townland of glass carrig was the seat of the leinster rule

Hello William,

Is this the Glascarrig you require information about?

Hope the link is of some help to you.

Best regards Michael.

it may be the right location as it seems dermott mcmurrough reigned here before 1175ad

and this is the time period i am interested previous to 1175ad and the leinster princes who gathered here

so maybe the sands of time have erased the documented history of the leinster princes gathering here

thanks again for the update
